When is an enzyme in feed, not a feed enzyme?

Feed enzymes increase the nutritional value of poultry feed, but other kinds of enzymes can be used to improve gut health. Bacterial peptidoglycans negatively affect gut function – these enzymes help break them down, increasing production efficiency. The practise of adding enzymes to poultry feed is virtually an industry standard. Phytases, carbohydrases, lipases and proteases – as well as increasing the nutritional value of feed – help prevent the negative effects of anti-nutritional fac
